Abstract:
Three common difficulties faced by the literature that aims to specify models of speech production include: (1) difficulties with theoretical assumptions which link psycholinguistic effects unequivocally to one processing level; (2) difficulties using clinical classifications to localize experimental effects; (3) difficulties making theoretical inferences given the controversial nature of the representations that characterize different processing levels. We argue that these three types of difficulties could be ameliorated by studies in which the level of psycholinguistic effects is demonstrated with converging analyses, clinical classification is not taken as a starting point in studies investigating the nature of an impairment, the nature of processing levels associated with deficits is made clear and results are not over-interpreted.
Keywords:
